🥇 | @SamiMokbel_BBC and @NizaarKinsella: Liverpool continue to hold an interest in Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott, with Andoni Iraola thought to have a positive relationship with his former player.
🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Gary Neville states that Manchester City will get a reception at Anfield next week like you have NEVER SEEN BEFORE!
"If Manchester City want an understanding HOW ANGRY the world of football is, then Anfield will tell them next week. In a way you WOULD NEVER BELIEVE."
"There will be BANNERS, there will be CHANTS, it will be a BRUTAL DAY." 🔥
🚨 Rui Pinto, the Football Leaks whistleblower whose leaked documents helped spark the Premier League’s investigation into Man City, has lost his protected witness status in Portugal.
The 37-year-old had been under protection since 2020, but Portuguese police have now assessed the threat to his safety as low — despite Pinto being assaulted in Lisbon in April.
He has been advised to remain cautious with family contact and avoid using social media.

BREAKING! Sky Sports News understands that players and their representatives have contacted lawyers over potential claims against Man City.
It's understood that players are consulting lawyers over missed bonuses - whether that is from missing out on a title or on European qualification.
👀 Liverpool owner John Henry's wife, Linda Pizzuti Henry, has reshared this message lamenting the impact of Man City's cheating.
🔴 Linda also has a small stake in FSG and therefore owns a small part of Liverpool.
🚨 Sir Alex Ferguson on Rui Pinto amid Manchester City saga:
🗣️“Rui Pinto needs to be protected. People should understand the importance of what he brought to light.
He opened doors that many people were afraid to even knock on.
Whether you agree with everything he did or not, his revelations raised serious questions about football’s biggest institutions.
When someone exposes information that powerful, you cannot simply pretend nothing happened.
The football world needs transparency, and people who reveal important information should not be treated as if they are the problem.
I have always said that football must be bigger than any club or individual.
If the truth is uncomfortable, then football must still have the courage to face it.
Rui Pinto should be protected, and the Manchester city should answer the questions his revelations created.”
🔥 Bill Shankly immediately felt a difference when he introduced Liverpool's all-red strip in 1964.
🗣️ "I went home that night and I said to my wife Ness, 'You know something, tonight I went out onto Anfield and, for the first time, there was a glow like a fire was burning'."

Manchester City reported £949.4m arriving from sponsors over nine years.
The real number was £119.2m. Abu Dhabi United Group (ADUG), the club’s owner, forked out the remaining £830.7m in what the commission described as a “disguised funding scheme”.
City are alleged to have overstated their revenue by £854.5m over nine years.
We knew it was going to be bad. But this bad? No, it is on a different scale to anything the Premier League has seen before.
